More 'odds and ends' cartoons and pictures by Barrie Pearce |
Some of the cartoons on this site
were made for the Freebustravel
Website which a pal and I set up several years ago to give free advice to pensioners on the government's free Bus Pass scheme. It took several years for local authorities to catch up and provide this information but we now are letting them do
the job. This page also includes some of my other artwork, such as Oil paintings |
An early hand drawn cartoon. Individual drawings scanned and then imported into a Gif animation program. Before fast connections there were severe limits on the file size of animations, otherwise they took too long to download | |

I made this
cartoon several governments ago and despite its
age Politicians still promote the idea. The question is, will means testing pensioners cost more to administer than the income gained? |
Apart from the so called 'Bedroom Tax' this cartoon raises concerns regarding the attitude of government and local authority towards older people's access and ability to use modern technology. |
